Melrose Milestone

THE PARTY Enticement comes in many forms. As if truffle fries weren’t enough, twinkling lights and flashbulbs beckoned fashion-forward Angelenos to Melrose Place to celebrate Isabel Marant and her L.A. store’s first birthday. Co-hosts Marant and Milla Jovovich greeted gatherers, setting a hospitable house-party tone that imbued the rest of the evening. THE SCENE Guests sauntered through a whimsical garden before reaching the confines of Marant’s eponymous shop. The who’s-who crowd mixed and mingled, savoring an only-in-L.A. mix of Champagne and petite hot dogs (and those truffle fries, for those lucky enough to snag an elusive serving). All smiles, Marant playfully gathered her inner circle under a sign stating her name—as if she needed an introduction. THE HIGHLIGHTS Conceding the spotlight, runway icons Alessandra Ambrosio and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley were in sync with the party’s convivial aura, chatting casually with friends and fans. Coachella alums Warpaint rocked the crowd with an exclusive performance midstore, capping off an evening that was entirely well played. Photography by Donato Sardella/Wireimage
